Vowing to end airbrushing, ctd

Hanna Rosin shrugs at Seventeen's promise:

[S]howing “real girls as they really are?” This is the province of art, or Facebook, or snapshots, or maybe Lena Dunham. It is the province of the zillions of blogs that have sprung up over the last decade showing real girls (and boys) rocking their own homegrown styles. It is not really the province of fashion magazines that are by nature aspirational and airbrushed. Just because I don’t want the models in Seventeen to look like heroin addicts does not mean I want them to look like my preteen daughter when she is slouching her way to school on her crankiest morning.
